Self supervised learning is revolutionizing AI using large unlabeled datasets. We show that maximizing mutual information between alternative representations of the same input is a practical method for self supervised learning that is immune to the dreaded collapse problem.

Privacy concerns can arise as a key bottleneck for data sharing, especially for sensitive domains like healthcare. We propose a novel generative modeling framework, that yields privacy-preserving synthetic EHR data with high fidelity.

Although we have witnessed several breakthroughs by transformers (especially LLMs), simple MLPs (or mixers in a fancier name 🙂) can be competitive or even better on time-series forecasting problems 🚀 Feel free to give a try on your task! Code: github.com/google-researc…

Prompting can be very important to get accurate outputs with LLMs but challenging for humans - handcrafting even a small number of demos can be difficult or, for unseen tasks, impossible. Our recent work on automatic prompting addresses this...

Selective prediction can improve reliability of LLMs by allowing them to abstain from making predictions when they are unsure. Our novel framework, ASPIRE, is based on adaptation with self evaluation to push state-of-the-art in selective prediction. For details:
